		Typical Lewis acids suitable for use in the present invention include aluminum fluoride, aluminum bromide, aluminum chloride, antimony pentachloride, zirconium tetrachloride, phosphorus pentachloride, boron fluoride, boron chloride and boron bromide.
		Ionizable salts useful in combination with the Lewis acids include lithium fluoride, lithium chloride, lithium bromide, lithium sulfide, sodium fluoride, sodium chloride, sodium bromide, potassium fluoride, potassium chloride, and potassium bromide.
		It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that the double salts formed by a Lewis acid and an ionizable salt may be used as such or the individual components may be added to the solvent separately to form the salt or the resulting ions in situ.

		He was quite successful: at a demonstration for company executives, one toy car, equipped with an older battery, quickly slowed to a halt while another, powered with his now standard alkaline battery, raced around and around the cafeteria.
		Urry, according to his son Michael, was a modest man who "took special pride around Christmas, when there was a rush for batteries."
